The hot breath of a man came to her ears. It was he who bent his head close to her ear, and his lips touched her ear through her hair. "Why are you crying?"
After saying that, he let go of his hand and saw her moist eyes. Chang Jiu was busy wiping her tears. She didn't like to cry in front of unfamiliar people, but Shen Zhi seemed to have penetrated her thoughts and held her hand. Hand, "Are you afraid that I will see you cry?"
Changjiu didn't know how to answer, so Shen Chi let go of her, picked up two boxes from the side, and said to her, "Open the door."
Chang Jiu said "hmm" and hurriedly opened the door and entered the home. Only then did she realize that what Shen Chi was carrying was a birthday cake and a gift box. She was stunned.
Shen Chi took off his shoes, put the things on the coffee table, and asked her with a smile, "I came to celebrate your birthday. Did it scare you?"
It was indeed scary, and Chang Jiu was very confused, "How did you know?"
The content of their chat never seemed to involve birthdays, and their relationship was not close enough to celebrate birthdays together.
"There is always a way to find out what you want to know," Shen Chi said with a smile, "Go take a bath, calm down, and then open the gifts."
This was exactly what Chang Jiu wanted. She cried like this and it was difficult to deal with Shen Zhi unless she calmed down. She said "Yeah" and went to take a bath.
While taking a shower, Chang Jiu was still curious about how Shen Chi knew about her birthday and why he came to celebrate her birthday. Given their relationship, it was completely unnecessary.
After thinking for a long time but unable to figure it out, Changjiu gave up. Anyway, she had never understood Shen Chi.
It was not good to keep Shen Chi waiting for too long, Changjiu washed and dried his hair in less than twenty minutes.
At that time, Shen Chi had already taken off his suit jacket and was sitting on the sofa wearing a white shirt. The warm yellow light shone on his body, softening his tough lines, making him less cold and more handsome. A bit warm.
He smiled at her and said, "Have you washed it? Come over and open the gift." That tone seemed like he was really talking to his girlfriend.
Probably because his demeanor and words were too gentle, Chang Jiu actually indulged for a moment. It is human instinct to crave warmth when we are vulnerable. Fortunately, she still had reason, and she woke up within a moment.
Chang Jiu sat down next to Shen Chi. The man placed the gift box on her lap. Chang Jiu smiled and asked, "Can it be opened?"
Shen Chi: "Guess what's inside?"
What could it be? The gift a man gives to his lover is nothing more than jewelry, a bag, or at least a card or check. Although this box is big, it doesn't weigh much.
Chang Jiu said, "The gift given by Professor Shen must be very special."
It seemed sincere, but in fact it was a completely unintentional compliment, but Shen Zhi didn't mind it at all, "It's indeed very special. Open it and take a look."
Under Shen Chi's gaze, Chang Jiu opened the square gift box. The moment she opened the lid, her eyes immediately changed, her smile froze, the corners of her mouth became stiff, and her eye sockets felt sore and painful.
Shen Chi saw her reaction clearly and asked knowingly, "Don't you like it?"
"How could you..." Before she could finish her words, tears welled up in her eyes again. This must have been the most embarrassing time in front of him since they met. She was speechless for a long time, covered her eyes and sobbed.
What Shen Chi gave her was a black tutu and a pair of shoes. The last person who gave her a tutu was her mother. She learned ballet because her mother had always had such a dream and she was extremely talented. Well, every time you learn a dance, you will receive a new skirt. In the former Chang family villa, she had an exclusive cloakroom. In a cabinet inside, there were all ballet skirts. All of them were destroyed by the fire. Destroyed.
Within a day, he thought about that painful experience several times, and Changjiu couldn't stop crying. She was wearing pajamas, and her thin body was trembling. He expected that she would be interested, but he didn't expect that it would be so intense. So, His choice was to get twice the result with half the effort.
Shen Chi held Chang Jiu in his arms and touched her back with his big palm, "Why are you crying? Don't you like it?"
Changjiu was speechless and continued to cry. Her answer was not that important to Shen Chi. As she cried, he continued to comfort her and pat her back until she calmed down.
After Chang Jiu had cried enough, Shen Chi wiped away her tears with a tissue and teased, "So my gift moved you so much that your nose turned red from crying."
"I'm sorry." After calming down, Chang Jiu felt that his reaction was exaggerated. Shen Zhi had no obligation to see her cry, "I thought of my parents."
"Huh?" It was a puzzled tone, probably asking her why.
Chang Jiu said, "I learned ballet because my mother liked it. Every time I learned a dance, she would give me a skirt, but then..."
It was still difficult to uncover the scars, and at this point, she couldn't speak.
But Shen Chi was very smart, "Then there was a fire and everything was destroyed, right?"
Chang held back tears for a long time and nodded gently. His look was very pitiful, but also a bit stubborn and proud, as if he was saying to him: I don't need your sympathy.
Shen Chi smiled, the rich lady's arrogance that was deeply rooted in her bones was indeed not something that could be wiped away easily.
He hugged her a little tighter and said, "It's okay, I'll see you off later."
Chang Jiu felt moved in his heart for a moment, but he soon came to his senses. A man's promise was always cheap, and it was just a prank to make her happy. It seemed stupid to take it seriously, but Chang Jiu still said "thank you" to Shen Chi.
He had no obligation to comfort her. In their agreement, there was no need to provide emotional value to the other party.
"Professor Shen, have you eaten?"
Changjiu went to look at the cake, and then he realized that the cake he ordered was actually a Black Swan cake, and the decoration on the cake was a piano.
Chang Jiu was stunned again, and Shen Chi asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like the cake?"
Chang Jiu shook his head. He didn't like it, but if he said it too much, it would sound pretentious. It must be just a coincidence that Shen Chi went to Black Swan to buy cakes. After all, it was the only place that suited his consumption habits.
The cake was very beautiful, and the piano on it was so delicate that I couldn't bear to destroy it. I even avoided the piano when lighting the candles.
When she had dinner with Tang Qingning, she had already made a wish. Chang Jiu had planned to go through the motions, but unexpectedly, after she lit the candle, Shen Chi actually turned off the lights in the living room. It was so ceremonial that he wanted to treat her seriously. Already.
Changjiu closed her eyes and clasped her hands together. She heard a sound of footsteps going away. It seemed that Shen Chi did not return to the sofa, but went in the direction behind her.
Just when I was wondering, I heard the sound of the piano, and what sounded was the melody of the Happy Birthday song.
Chang Jiu looked back. Under the weak light of the candle, he could only see his tall and elegant outline, his side face and the high bridge of his nose. He looked at the keys carefully, and his slender fingers skillfully moved on the black and white keys. As he walked, the simplest melody took on a different charm.
